Re: Looking for advice for a good Digital Ice 35mm slide scanner

Flush with success on my UDF BSOD crash solution, I've moved on
to finding a good HD image backup utility, which I think is
Acronis True Image.

Now, I'd like the benefit of the experience of folks here
that've converted their old 35mm slide and neg collections to
digital.

My old flatbed has a slide scanner, but the scans totally suck.
Ditto for some cheap and very slow dedicated scanner I bought
and discarded some years back.

I've heard that Nikon Coolscans with Digital Ice to kill the
dust spots are what I want, but I'd like to keep an open mind
and find people who've actually used a mid-to-high-end dedicated
scanner.

I am willing to spend premium $$$ for a scanner with good dust
control, and one that will minimize my post-processing time to
get RGB, brightness/contrast, etc. "right". I will pay even more
for a scanner with a multi-slide loader so I can batch scan a
dozen or more slides at a time.

Your opinions would be appreciated.

I've been using a Nikon 9000 scanner for a while now, and it's excellent.
The software is adequate, it integrates well with PS, and it does a killer
job with all types of media. This is the medium format scanner, but I'vd got
to believe that the 5000, the 35mm only model would be just as good.
